put swartz behind bars for his suicide this man a young man and his family were literally terrorized by the prosecutors and the judicial discretion that let this case go forward and not. while authorities dubbed him a criminal supporter say he was a robin hood in the fight for freedom of information aaron swartz was a prodigy at fourteen he helped write the are assessed specific ation an online syndication system that allows users to consolidate feeds from numerous blog sites automatically instead of having to check each website individually the program is now part of the common vocabulary of the internet and is used on a daily basis for publishing news stories from all over the world critics say u.s. officials wanted aaron sent down to set an example he was going up against policy and he knew it well but he thought he would be in the clear in the law because he was only spreading public domain documents instead swartz's case has made an example of how seriously the internet is regulated in the us the laws under which

west there is another theory that he may be a stooge of the military the fact is that whoever has launched this particular person has done his homework because if the man has captured the spirit and imagination of a people who had the feeling that they were down drug then they were neglected and they were driven against of all because of bad governance because of the peril of situation because of lack of energy lack of food and lack of jobs people are joining him in flocks and even those who are double minded are now trying to make sure that it matters if history has to change of this country. oh and his supporters driven by anger over corruption and the flawed election system called for their protests to grow into a revolution heightening their city into square protests in egypt in an exclusive interview the protest leader himself told us exactly what he means you catch it here it's out. when i see evolution we should keep in your mind in

egypt in tunis in libya and all these countries there was needed a dictatorship for years and years for a long time. and that people stood up against that in iran there was one eric here rule of shan shah the people stood up against their. party stand cases be different there is no rule neither monadic nor a military dictatorship here is electoral authority and twenty billion is electoral dictatorship true democracy does not exist in this society neither in political field nor in social field nor in economic field not democracy so this is a lot less and less total chaos and anarchy in this country government is totally dysfunctional. saw this is the single nation a single country in the whole muslim world having a nuclear capability and if the same situation continues that would be

another term is running scared he's up his rhetoric i say in the most clear of terms the western wall is not occupied territory i don't care what the un says we will build in jerusalem because it's our right netanyahu says we could list has grown even more right wing with radicals like this woman high up in the pecking order. but the league would be to no party is a party with values the state of israel is a state of the jews whose eternal capital is you're also. but what would be the implications of such rhetoric after the elections many israelis are asking themselves about the day after will netanyahu become more rightwing and risk drawing israel into conflicts with its neighbors or will he back down and risk losing safes among his supporters. is hoping for the latter that netanyahu will listen to world opinion and reach

a compromise with the palestinians he knows all too well what the current cycle of violence can bring speakers daughter was killed in a suicide bombing seventeen years ago. we don't have unfortunately in the center and the left. a leader who is significantly charismatic to lead this country and give its people hope the left is also divided but i do think netanyahu will find a way to compromise because of world pressure but that compromise won't come easy enough to be bennett solution to the israeli palestinian conflict is to annex most of the west bank while allowing palestinians a limited self rule in the west and while that might not seem a possible idea to most of the international community it's exactly what his constituency wants to hear a fact natanya who is acutely aware of policy r.t. television of course will be keeping a close eye on events science election unfolds with in-depth up to the minute coverage. how will tensions with to run develop settlement expansion isolate chan
